Assuming the "poping" of "the 7.20 bubble" means the bust continuing after the echo bubble, yes.

I already wrote that though, more than two weeks ago. :P

Once-a-week $1 smack-downs, bumping up .50 cents, then week-long sideways movement w/no volume.

Repeat in continuing downward trend.  Until positive volume picks up.

We're rapidly moving to despair, and it will only get worse this month (and maybe Feb and part of March)

Brace yourselves for $4!  Down we go!

I think you're probably right.  A few days ago there was $1.6 million in bids.  Now there's $1 million.  Some of that got scared off, but a good portion of it was sold into.  Now that people are getting scared, more bids will get pulled and we'll probably get an accelerated downward movement - aka, panic.  As a side note, it would take an immediate $1 million just to get the price back to $7.20; that's in the event of a sudden order placed for everything between the current price and $7.20.  The resistance is getting a lot stronger.  I think a couple things are happening at once  - (1) more bitcoins are being moved to MtGox, and (2) not much new money is coming in.  Nagle could still be proved right, in the end.  We could just be witnessing the fighting last breaths.

The problem is everyone just waits for one of the big players to decide to do something and then ride the waves. I think thats why we see the price jump up or down, then equilibriate halfway in between, until the next big sell or buy occurs. There is too much uncertainty for normal people to make decisions regarding short term trading. Sentiment and the fundamentals appear to be irrelevant, so everyone just waits for whatever big move will occur next.

Gosh, trading for whole week at $6.30.

Now we've bumped down to $5.80 for another week of brain-dead sideways movement.

Nuh-uh, not so sure about that. As people will start to realize that their current 6.25 - 7.20 asks are getting increasingly unattainable, the mountain of asks will move lower to overwhelm the bid side. The bottom could well fall out over the next week, if the panic hasn't started already.

All this talk of dropping prices makes me think we are ready for another spike up.

With overwhelming sentiment, comes opposite movement!

Not yet. We're barely out of the 'buy now whilst you still have the chance' phase...

You'll know we are ready for a spike up when you stop thinking it's possible we'll get one ;)

Do you see that big mountain on the right of the chart? That mountain is going to crumble down in panic any time now. This is no correction man, just a bubble beginning to pop.

If the past serves as a guide, then we will indeed be experiencing a long, slow correction down below $5 for the next month or so...  Look at last March to see what I mean.
But then wave 3 comes ;)

It’s even worse, man. Even I’m beginning to see it the same again. I can’t help it. The current situation is awful, even worse than it was 50 cents higher.

I wanted to comment but my eyes are burning with "Deepbit = Enemy of Bitcoin" (whatever that means).

I agree.

Anyone, look at the order book and tell me this is not denial. Then look at the recent trading history and try again. We didn't even have a full panic wave yet, I only saw two serious sells total. If indeed a bust is starting, this was just a little glimpse of what's ahead once the denial ends.
